采用水热法制备了Co₃O₄/CeO₂(x)[x为钴铈原子摩尔比n(Co):n(Ce)=6:49:1]和Ce_1-yCo_yO_2-δ(y=0.10.4)2个系列复合氧化物, 并表征了材料的物理化学性质, 考察了这些氧化物作为氧载体参与甲烷化学链转化(化学链燃烧和化学链部分氧化)的反应性能. 结果表明, 2类复合氧化物的甲烷反应活性均明显优于单一氧化物CeO₂或Co₃O₄, 但2类氧载体上的甲烷反应产物的选择性具有明显差异.

氧分子在Cu2O(111)表面吸附与解离的理论研究

本文采用密度泛函方法结合周期性平板模型,研究了氧原子和氧分子在完整和存在缺陷的Cu₂O(111)表面的吸附。计算结果表明氧原子倾向于吸附在配位饱和的Cu_CSA位,而对于氧分子,则强烈倾向于吸附在配位不饱和的Cu_CUS位。氧分子在含有氧空位的缺陷表面的优势吸附位为平行吸附于空位上方的桥位。过渡态的计算表明氧分子在缺陷表面的解离是一个活化能很小的放热过程。     

Characterization of O2-CeO2 interactions using in situ Raman spectroscopy and first-principle calculations.

Interactions between O(2) and CeO(2) are examined experimentally using in situ Raman spectroscopy and theoretically using density-functional slab-model calculations. Two distinct oxygen bands appear at 825 and 1131 cm(-1), corresponding to peroxo- and superoxo-like species, respectively, when partially reduced CeO(2) is exposed to 10 % O(2). Periodic density-functional theory (DFT) calculations aid the interpretation of spectroscopic observations and provide energetic and geometric information for the dioxygen species adsorbed on CeO(2). The O(2) adsorption energies on unreduced CeO(2) surfaces are endothermic (0.91相似文献   

Matrix infrared spectra and theoretical studies of thorium oxide species: ThOx and Th2Oy

Infrared spectra of three new thorium oxide species have been obtained in argon and neon matrixes. All of the products are experimentally characterized using isotopic oxygen samples with the aid of electronic structure calculations. Ground state thorium atoms react with O(2) to form the ThO(2) molecules, which can dimerize to give Th(2)O(4) products. Th(2)O(4) is predicted to have nonplanar C(2h) symmetry for its closed shell singlet ground state. The rhombus-shaped Th(2)O(2) molecule in the (1)A(g) (D(2h)) ground state is also observed and its formation is proposed via the reaction of Th(2) with O(2). In addition, electron capture of neutral thorium dioxide results in the formation of the ThO(2)(-) anion. It is predicted to have a doublet ground state with a geometry similar to that of the neutral ThO(2) molecule. Electronic structure calculations on the unobserved Th(2)O and Th(2)O(3) molecules are also provided.     

水在HfO2(111)和(110)表面的吸附与解离

运用广义梯度近似密度泛函理论方法(GGA-PW91)结合周期平板模型, 研究水分子在二氧化铪(111)和(110)表面不同吸附位置在不同覆盖度下的吸附行为. 通过比较不同吸附位的吸附能和几何构型参数发现:(111)和(110)表面铪原子(top 位)是活性吸附位. 水分子与表面的吸附能值随覆盖度的变化影响较小. 在(111)和(110)表面, 水分子都倾向以氧端与表面铪原子相互作用. 同时也计算了羟基、氧和氢在表面的吸附, Mulliken 电荷布居, 态密度及部分频率. 结果表明, 在两种表面羟基以氧端与表面铪相互作用, 氧原子与表面铪和氧原子同时成键, 而氢原子直接与表面氧原子相互作用形成羟基. 通过过渡态搜索, 水分子在(111)和(110)表面发生解离, 反应能垒分别为9.7和17.3 kJ·mol^-1, 且放热为59.9和47.6 kJ·mol^-1.     

氧化碳烟的MnOx(0.4)-CeO2催化剂表面活性物种研究

采用柠檬酸配合燃烧法和共沉淀法制备了MnOx(0.4)-CeO2催化剂,用于模拟碳烟的燃烧.通过XRD、BET、Raman、H2-TPR、O2-TPD与XPS表征催化剂的结构和表面活性物种,并借助原位拉曼研究碳烟的催化氧化机理.结果表明柠檬酸配合燃烧法制备的MnOx(0.4)-CeO2-CA催化剂中有更多的Mn进入了CeO2的立方萤石结构,比表面积更大,氧空位、Mn4+和Ce4+更多,因而氧化还原性能更好,催化氧化碳烟的活性更高.O-在碳烟的氧化中起重要作用,Mn4+和Ce4+有利于氧化反应的进行,氧空位的增加能提高氧的吸附、迁移和转化能力,促进了碳烟的氧化.反应路径为O-溢出参与碳烟的氧化,同时产生氧空位,部分晶格氧O2-补充O-,气相氧不断吸附到氧空位上得到活化生成O2-,O2-转化为O-(可进一步转化为O2-),O-迁移至碳烟颗粒表面参与反应,生成CO2.     

A study of thoria on the surface of gamma-Al2O3

The dispersion of thoria on the surface of gamma-Al2O3 and the surface properties of ThO2/gamma-Al2O3 samples, as well as the influence of the loading amount of thoria on the reduction behavior of copper oxide species, have been studied using XRD, XPS, FTIR, and TPR. The results indicate that the dispersion capacity of thoria, like that of ceria, is much lower than for two other tetravalent metal oxides, zirconia and titania, and the surface adsorption amount of the carbonyl compound and H2O slightly increases with increasing thoria loading. The different thoria loadings can influence the reduction behavior of the dispersed copper oxide by comparing the TPR results of CuO/ThO2/gamma-Al2O3 samples. In addition, the lower dispersion capacities of thoria and ceria on gamma-Al2O3 are tentatively discussed by considering the structural stability of the two oxides.     

纳米CeO2基固溶体催化柴油机碳颗粒物燃烧性能

采用柠檬酸溶胶鄄凝胶法制备CeO2基固溶体催化剂(Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-δ、Ce0.7Pr0.3O2-δ和Ce0.7Gd0.3O2-δ), 并考察了固溶体和三种常用载体(TiO2、SiO2和Al2O3)及其负载KNO3后的催化碳黑燃烧活性. 结果表明, CeO2基固溶体催化剂具有很高的催化燃烧活性, 其活性接近TiO2、SiO2和Al2O3负载30%KNO3催化剂的活性. 因为纳米CeO2基固溶体的形成, 提高了催化剂的抗烧结能力, 使氧更活泼, 从而提高氧化还原性能, 有利于碳颗粒燃烧. 由于CeO2基固溶体本身的高活性, 因此KNO3的添加不能明显提高CeO2基固溶体催化剂(尤其是Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-δ和Ce0.7Pr0.3O2-δ)的催化燃烧活性, 但KNO3能显著提高TiO2, SiO2和Al2O3的催化燃烧活性.     

有序介孔氮掺杂碳负载三氧化二铁的制备及其催化氧还原性能

制备了有序介孔氮掺杂碳负载三氧化铁,有效降低了氧还原的过电势。通过扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、氮气吸附-脱附测试、粉末X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱、拉曼光谱等技术表征了所制备的催化剂的物理化学性质。此外,用旋转圆盘电极测试了其在碱性条件下对氧还原反应的催化活性和选择性。实验结果表明:氮气热解后铁以三氧化二铁的形式负载于有序介孔氮掺杂碳中,其比表面积达到755 cm^2·g^-1。拉曼和X射线光电子能谱结果表明,加入铁前驱体后所制备的催化剂石墨化程度有所提升、阻抗降低、导电性增加。在碱性条件下,Fe2O3@NC催化剂呈现出4电子氧还原反应,其起始电位(-0.01 V vs Ag/AgCl)和半波电位(-0.13 V vs Ag/AgCl)与商用20%Pt/C相当。此外,该催化剂具有较好的抗甲醇性能且其恒电压稳定性优于商用Pt/C。Fe2O3@NC催化剂用于锌-空电池放电测试,其放电功率可以达到88 mW·cm^-2,是商用Pt/C的1.29倍。

Computational study on the reactions of H2O2 on TiO2 anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces

This study investigates the adsorption and reactions of H(2)O(2) on TiO(2) anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory in conjunction with the projected augmented wave approach, using PW91, PBE, and revPBE functionals. Adsorption mechanisms of H(2)O(2) and its fragments on both surfaces are analyzed. It is found that H(2)O(2) , H(2)O, and HO preferentially adsorb at the Ti(5c) site, meanwhile HOO, O, and H preferentially adsorb at the (O(2c))(Ti(5c)), (Ti(5c))(2), and O(2c) sites, respectively. Potential energy profiles of the adsorption processes on both surfaces have been constructed using the nudged elastic band method. The two restructured surfaces, the 1/3 ML oxygen covered TiO(2) and the hydroxylated TiO(2), are produced with the H(2)O(2) dehydration and deoxidation, respectively. The formation of main products, H(2)O(g) and the 1/3 ML oxygen covered TiO(2) surface, is exothermic by 2.8 and 5.0 kcal/mol, requiring energy barriers of 0.8 and 1.1 kcal/mol on the rutile (110) and anatase (101) surface, respectively. The rate constants for the H(2)O(2) dehydration processes have been predicted to be 6.65 × 10(-27) T(4.38) exp(-0.14 kcal mol(-1)/RT) and 3.18 × 10(-23) T(5.60) exp(-2.92 kcal mol(-1)/RT) respectively, in units of cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1).     

Structure and properties of the thorium vanadyl tellurate, Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2

The hydrothermal reaction of Th(NO3)4.xH2O with V2O5 and H6TeO6 at 200 degrees C under autogenously generated pressure results in the formation of Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2 as a pure phase. The single-crystal X-ray data indicate that Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2 possesses a three-dimensional structure constructed from ThO9 tricapped trigonal prisms, VO5 distorted square pyramids, VO4 distorted tetrahedra, and TeO6 distorted octahedra. Both of the vanadium polyhedra contain VO2+ vanadyl units with two short V=O bond distances. The tellurate octahedron is tetragonally distorted and utilizes all of its oxygen atoms to bond to adjacent metal centers, sharing edges with ThO9 and VO5 units, and corners with two ThO9, one VO5, and two VO4 polyhedra. Crystallographic data: Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2, orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 12.6921(7), b = 11.5593(7), c = 13.0950(8) A, Z = 8 (T = 193 K). The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum of Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2 shows vanadyl-based charge-transfer absorption features. Th(VO2)2(TeO6)(H2O)2 decomposes primarily to Th(VO3)4 when heated at 600 degrees C in air.     

An infrared study of adsorption of N2O on ZnO

The adsorption of N₂O on finely divided ZnO at room temperature shows two principal infrared absorption bands at 2237 cm⁻¹ (strong) and 1255 cm⁻¹ (weak), corresponding to the reversible adsorption of an N₂O surface species. The N₂O is postulated to be coordinated to Zn²⁺ cations by the oxygen atom. Water pre-treatment of the ZnO surface gives only weak bands from adsorbed N₂O, indicating that the latter's adsorption site is taken up by adsorbed water. Spectroscopic experiments on ‘reduced’ surfaces of ZnO at 200°C show that limited reaction of N₂O with the surface has occurred, presumably through decomposition to nitrogen and adsorbed oxygen. New adsorptions on the ZnO surface itself, and a reduced amount of reversibly adsorbed N₂O, implied a reduction in pressure of the adsorbate. Such effects were not observed appreciably over ‘oxidised’ ZnO.

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了Zr掺杂的钴基钙钛矿La(Ba)ZrxCo1-xO3-δ,并将其用于航天推进剂领域的高浓度N2O催化分解反应.发现Zr的引入明显提高了钙钛矿La(Ba)ZrxCo1-xO3-δ的催化活性,尤其是当Zr掺杂量分别为0.05和0.2时,LaZrxCo1-xO3-δ和BaZrxCo1-xO3-δ催化剂性能较为优异.应用N2物理吸附、X射线衍射、H2程序升温还原、O2程序升温脱附和氧脉冲吸附技术表征了Zr掺杂对La(Ba)ZrxCo1-xO3-δ催化剂的物化性质的影响.结果表明,Zr掺杂增大了钴基钙钛矿的比表面积,改善了晶格结构,从而提高了钴物种的还原及氧吸附脱附能力,因而催化剂上N2O分解活性增加.     

Surface dependence of CO2 adsorption on Zn2GeO4

An understanding of the interaction between Zn(2)GeO(4) and the CO(2) molecule is vital for developing its role in the photocatalytic reduction of CO(2). In this study, we present the structure and energetics of CO(2) adsorbed onto the stoichiometric perfectly and the oxygen vacancy defect of Zn(2)GeO(4) (010) and (001) surfaces using density functional theory slab calculations. The major finding is that the surface structure of the Zn(2)GeO(4) is important for CO(2) adsorption and activation, i.e., the interaction of CO(2) with Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces is structure-dependent. The ability of CO(2) adsorption on (001) is higher than that of CO(2) adsorption on (010). For the (010) surface, the active sites O(2c)···Ge(3c) and Ge(3c)-O(3c) interact with the CO(2) molecule leading to a bidentate carbonate species. The presence of Ge(3c)-O(2c)···Ge(3c) bonds on the (001) surface strengthens the interaction of CO(2) with the (001) surface, and results in a bridged carbonate-like species. Furthermore, a comparison of the calculated adsorption energies of CO(2) adsorption on perfect and defective Zn(2)GeO(4) (010) and (001) surfaces shows that CO(2) has the strongest adsorption near a surface oxygen vacancy site, with an adsorption energy -1.05 to -2.17 eV, stronger than adsorption of CO(2) on perfect Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces (E(ads) = -0.91 to -1.12 eV) or adsorption of CO(2) on a surface oxygen defect site (E(ads) = -0.24 to -0.95 eV). Additionally, for the defective Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces, the oxygen vacancies are the active sites. CO(2) that adsorbs directly at the Vo site can be dissociated into CO and O and the Vo defect can be healed by the oxygen atom released during the dissociation process. On further analysis of the dissociative adsorption mechanism of CO(2) on the surface oxygen defect site, we concluded that dissociative adsorption of CO(2) favors the stepwise dissociation mechanism and the dissociation process can be described as CO(2) + Vo → CO(2)(δ-)/Vo → CO(adsorbed) + O(surface). This result has an important implication for understanding the photoreduction of CO(2) by using Zn(2)GeO(4) nanoribbons.     

O2在具有氧和镁缺陷MgO(001)表面的吸附

在密度泛函理论的框架下，采用嵌入点电荷簇模型研究了O2在具有氧缺陷和镁缺陷MgO(001)表面上的吸附.用电荷自洽的方法确定了点电荷的值.计算结果表明，O2倾向吸附在具有氧缺陷的MgO(001)表面上.通过和我们近期研究过的O2在低配位的边、角上吸附结果相比较，发现具有氧缺陷的MgO(001)表面更加有利于O2的吸附和解离. Mülliken电荷分析表明，电荷由底物向吸附的O2反键轨道上转移是导致O2键强削弱的主要原因.势能曲线表明，O2在具有氧缺陷的MgO(001)表面上发生解离所需要克服的能垒比在角阳离子端发生解离所需克服的能垒有大幅度降低.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of the products of laser-ablated thorium atom reactions with H2O in excess argon

Reactions of laser-ablated Th atoms with H2O during condensation in excess argon have formed a variety of intriguing new Th, H, O species. Infrared absorptions at 1406.0 and 842.6 cm-1 are assigned to the H-Th and Th=O stretching vibrations of HThO. Absorptions at 1397.2, 1352.4, and 822.8 cm-1 are assigned to symmetric H-Th-H, antisymmetric H-Th-H, and Th=O stretching vibrations of the major primary reaction product H2ThO. Thorium monoxide (ThO) produced in the reaction inserts into H2O to form HThO(OH), which absorbs at 1341.0, 804.0, and 542.6 cm-1. Both HThO(OH) and ThO2 add another H2O molecule to give HTh(OH)3 and OTh(OH)2, respectively. Weaker thorium hydride (ThH1(-4)) absorptions were also observed. Relativistic DFT and ab initio calculations were performed on all proposed molecules and other possible isomers. The good agreement between experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies, relative absorption intensities, and isotopic shifts provides support for these first identifications of Th, H, O molecular species.
